GE and Legacy supported products

Life-cycle Management Arc guard systems (policy and services)

ABB’s products are designed for continuous evolution. It is ABB’s goal to protect our customers’ investment beyond the life-cycles of the underlying platform products. Product Life-cycle Management or LCM is a term used for the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product from its conception, through design and manufacture to service. LCM is a set of capabilities that enable an enterprise to effectively and efficiently innovate and manage its products and related services throughout the entire business lifecycle. Following LCM directives, ABB has divided the manufactured products into four phases as showed below.

Active

Products characteristics:

  • Released for sale.
  • In full manufacture by factory.
  • Actively promoted in assigned markets.
  • Available to all customers.
  • Fully supported both technically and via after sales network.

Available services:

  • Long-term support thanks to “Customer Support Agreements”.
  • Extended warranty application.
  • Worldwide Service competence, ready for prompt actuation.
  • Certified ABB spare parts ready in stock to guarantee their availability throughout the product life time (active, restricted and legacy stages).

Classic

Products characteristics:

  • No further enhancements.
  • Product is no longer actively Promoted, =>12 month advance notice through sales channel.
  • Product will be phase out.
  • It is still available for sale - mainly for spares and expansions of existing systems, supply under frame agreements, in case of space constrains, required functionality not yet covered by the new product, license agreements.

Available services:

  • Guaranteed availability of spare parts as per active products conditions.
  • Best time to keep switchgear healthy via “Customer Support Agreements”.
  • Call for training with wide coverage thanks to worldwide footprint still available.

Limited

Products characteristics:

  • The manufacture of spare parts and accessories is guaranteed.
  • New apparatus availability may continue, but is not guaranteed.
  • Increasing use of refurbished apparatus or retrofitting kits.
  • No new development to replace obsolete components.
  • Technical support (field service, phone support, etc) continues, but may diminish over time with decreasing installed base.

Available services:

  • “Last Buy” opportunity of complete equipment.
  • Spare parts still available on request.
  • Retrofit solutions can already be applied.
  • “Customer Support Agreements” designed to keep the service experience as per active products.

Obsolete

Products characteristics:

  • Product withdrawn from sales.
  • Product where manufacturing capability is no longer possible.
  • No longer manufactured as a complete product. ABB cannot guarantee availability of product support for technical reasons or within reasonable costs.

Available services:

  • Spare parts availability is no longer guaranteed.
  • Retrofit solutions are usually available. The use of active products allows a new life to be given to the plants.
  • Our consultancy services are always available for supporting your cost-effective and optimized investments. Special care is given to obtain a soft shift to new applications and solutions.
